wayno Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I see a 520 that is going to get a lot of visitors over the next couple days, and I think most are asking, is that 520 dash top still there, did you get it H5WAGON? Is the windshield good? Is the gauge cluster there? Quote Link to comment
converted_to_datsun Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Wind shield is good and cluster is great I was there yesterday Quote Link to comment

Will Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 I'm heading out to San Francisco for a week, and I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation of a yard that is likely to have some Datsuns for me to check out. Quote Link to comment

Check out the pick n pull inventory for the Richmond, Oakland and Newark yards. Those are the closest to SF. Quote Link to comment

Steroid Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Today Mark and I traveled up to Kingman, Arizona to Pick & Pull. There were two 620 pickups, one a longbed and the other a shortbed. VERY complete trucks that yielded some parts We were looking for. There is also a 1969 Toyota Corona which is about 95% complete, a Mazda model that I have never seen but it did not have a rotary and the craziest find: Three Rambler American two doors ! ! Two were 1958s the other a 1959. These were very sad to see as one was obviously a restoration and the other two parts cars. The restoration project had a complete headliner and all of the seats had been reupholstered. VERY SAD to see them in the yard. I couldn't find a Rambler website to post these on but possibly one of You know somebody interested in old Ramblers. Remember, this is Arizona......... these cars are ALL very rust free. Such a shame that they all will end up crushed one day. There were also a handful of 720 pickups and a pretty complete Ford Courier, early 70s. The yard is on old Route 66 just as You head out of town northward on the east side of the highway. To give You an idea of prices, I scored a MINT condition stock spare tire with the original Bridgestone Mighty Rib tire for only $22.00. 620 taililight housings were $5.50 each. I might go back for a windshield and it is priced $55.00. 1 Quote Link to comment
tdaaj Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Pick a part tumwater, 78 620 kingcab, pretty well picked over but still a lot there, 5 speed Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 There is a 1982 datsun 720 diesel in the sherwood yard, I tried getting the upper bolt out of the starter to pull the transmission, but I gave up, it would not move. If you were to pull all the intake exhaust off the engine, you might be able to see enough to get that bolt removed, all the tranny bolts are removed, and the lower starter bolt is removed also, but since I could not get that upper starter bolt out, I did not remove the driveline or mounts, or anything else down there. I got all the wiring and electricals out of it except for the turn signal assembly and instrument cluster. It even had a stock datsun AM/FM radio, I hope it works, as I bought that also.

ggzilla Posted January 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Starter bolts can be really tough. On some Datsuns i've had to resort to three 6" extensions and socket to get the bolt off. On others I've had to use and end-wrench slow to come off. Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 went back to get the wheel studs off the yellow 521 but proved to be a failure. but saw this Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 There are two types of diesel starters, but they both have the same mount bolt access issue.This is the small one. This is the big one. And this is why I gave up on trying to get the starter out, the farther you get to looking at the bolt straight on, the less you can see of it, till it starts to disappear(small starter). Big starter This is the bottom bolt on the small starter, and this is the bottom bolt on the big starter. The bottom bolt is out, as it is accessible from the bottom, but the top bolt has a 17mm head on it, not much room with a 17mm head, a guy that I met there/talked with had a swivel socket, and he couldn't get it loose either. If someone wants this starter or transmission bad enough, if you remove the intake and exhaust manifolds, you likely will be able to get to the top starter bolt with a open ended wrench, but the exhaust manifold is in the way the way it is.

Homeboyx Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Any one checked to see if there are any in the yards in Wilmington? Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 There's a couple in Wilmington I generally go to that actually list their inventory online. The smaller one on Blinn got a couple of 280Z's a few days ago. They did have an 810, 610, 310 & B210 but those might be long gone now.
